Dark rosy pink with a bit of sediment. Heavy melon and peach in the nose, buttered rum, banana bread and frozen strawberry in the tin.

Plump and cheery, this is a well-stuffed rosé of grenache and counoise drinking as solidly as a light red, solidly fruited and structured.

In the mouth, more canned strawberries running well with the grain of peach fuzz before drying out magnificently into sea-water and the grip of acid and skin-contact.
